The required credentials for a veterinary technician and the requirements for being credentialed vary from state to state and country to country. To find a specific answer you would need to research the statutes or laws governing veterinary technicians/animal health technicians/ veterinary nurses in the specific state or country of interest.

In the USA, most states require that a veterinary technician be licensed, registered or certified but the exact type of credentialling is based upon the state's laws.
